    While doing some research recently, I stumbled on a newspaper article from last week stating that Farmail has gotten their hands on nine EMD GP38-2s....four bought outright and the others leased with the intent to purchase. Could we be seeing the familiar GP10s and such steadily phased out? They are getting old and it seems inevitable.

    Back when I visited Clinton in December of 2012, they had most of the GP10s parked and were using a bunch of ex Iowa Interstate GP38s.

    Hmmm....looks like I'm a little behind (as usual) lol. I wonder if there any GP10s left at all in this case?
